Romaine lettuce fruit and nut salad with sweet lime dressing
About the salad
- Tastes good. A Mix of both sweet and crunchy. The sweetness of the apple, dates and dressing is cut perfectly by the soft crunchy romaine lettuce leaves and walnuts.
- Has a distinct gingelly oil flavour. That I think is the characteristics of the oil! Always lends its unique taste.
- A must-try for a salad noob who hates green leafy veggies. Now you want more salads!
